Climate + Sustainability

We are facing unprecedented climate and environmental change that directly impacts the way we live through climate hazards, pandemics, habitat loss, amongst others. It is imperative that we improve human well-being while not sacrificing the integrity of our atmosphere and biosphere, which requires innovative and thoughtful solutions across all sectors. Our faculty focus on such topics as climate adaptation, mitigation, migration, and justice, green infrastructure, water systems and management, food systems, transportation systems, and green space.
